Finally there will be free practice (role playing).

Materials

Main Aims

  • To consolidate the use of present perfect with ever/never

Subsidiary Aims

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (1-2 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

As this class follows the same topic from the previous session, There will be no warner. There will only be a brief introduction to the tasks we will cover in this session.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

For this task, students will complete 5 questions withe the correct form of verb and EVER. After that, they will write two responses for each question, one for a YES answer and the other for a NO answer using NEVER. This is an individual task. However, as this task is designed on Miro board, all students can navigate through the other students' answers and check their answers with another student of their choice.

Semi-Controlled Practice (15-20 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

In task 2,students will work in groups of 3 to put the words in order. There will be overall nine scrambled sentences (3 questions, 3 affirmative statements, and 3 negative sentences) and students will be put into groups planned beforehand and they will be given the following instruction: A) You will be 3 people in each group.  B) Find your teammates and sit together. C) Put the words in order. D) The first and last words are in correct order. E) In your team, you MUST work together. This will be followed with some CCQs for a random member of each team to further clarify the concepts.

Free Practice (15-17 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

For task 3, students will work in pairs playing role for an interviewer and a famous Turkish character. They will have the chance to take either role. A previously planned set of ten ideas will be shared in PDF format on Google Classroom, and the students taking interviewer's role will have to form/ask the questions using present perfect with EVER. The students in famous characters' role will have to answer using present perfect and NEVER. Depending on how quickly they finish this activity, I may decide to shuffle the pairs and continue this activity.
